2. "I don't have many people that I look up to in rock and roll, but I can say that I--I don't want to use that word 'idolize'--but he is probably the only one that I can think of that I admire.

I think he is probably the most versatile singer that has ever existed in rock and roll."
3. "I didn't feel I was a writer until somebody started buying our records. You can't really think you are, until somebody proves it. And the only way to prove it is to have somebody lay out a couple of dollars and say, 'I'll buy that.'"
4. "I think you are initially afraid that no one has anything in common with what you think, nobody cares about your feelings, nobody has the same feelings that you do.

9. "I'd never touched (a piano) in my life. In fact, I only bought my first piano, a console, in 1975, and literally the only time I had ever played acoustic piano before that was when we recorded 'Lady' in 1972. I had to walk in cold to that session; that was my first real attempt at playing acoustic piano."
